I can’t stand it either

Holy shit… that’s it. It has to be. I haven’t watched Evangelion in like, 20 years or so, but I can hear the cover now and it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

American Psycho is one of my all time favorite movies! And I LOVE that scene!

“Is that a raincoat?”

“Yes it is!”

I also really like the soundtrack :)

It’s a pretty awesome song! I love Separate Ways!

That was a really funny scene! Especially when they abandoned the funeral

Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite band so I completely get you on this!

My kid is into music theory so what you mention flies over my head , but I get a bit of it because he goes deep into this and we discuss it. But he knows way more than I do about this subject.

That’s the thing. I always recognized it as an amazing song, but I actually got nauseous whenever it came on the radio and I just could not figure out why until now.

Damn the last episode of the Sopranos. Now I need to figure out why I hate “Fly me to the Moon” when i love Sinatra so much.

Unbelievable. That song (Evanescence) came on the radio when I had to give up one of my dogs for being too aggressive after I had my baby. It haunted me for years. I was a complete wreck after and I can’t listen to that song now.

But, yeah…I know hate is a strong word, but the Sopranos ending was the absolute worst. I hate it even now.

Exactly this! It’s especially terrifying to drive here Friday and Saturday nights and during heavy rains. You’re also expected to go 15-20 over the speed limit and yeah, idiots will absolutely speed-cross from the furthest lane to their exit without giving a f*ck about anyone else.

Oh absolutely. A few years ago someone did just that because they were about to miss their exit. I slammed on my breaks and it caused 8 cars to crash. I wasn’t found at fault, but because I was the first car to stop, I had to deal with 8 different insurances from all the people involved… it was such a pain. The whole thing took around 4 months to settle all the claims and get my car fixed.

Sounds like you have amazing parents!

And yeah, a speed train would be great, but I doubt we’ll ever get one. I was very excited for the infrastructure plan, but who knows if and when it’ll happen.

Oh jeeze… it was so bad after Katrina. I’m sorry you had to deal with this and the hurricane.

Toll roads were a great alternative 10-15 years ago. Now they are just as bad as freeways. It’s nearly impossible to find alternatives unless Google Maps finds a neat back way around this hell hole.

I live in Katy. Driving through this from 4-7 pm is an absolute nightmare. Horrible traffic jams, erratic drivers and multi-car accidents daily. Mornings aren’t fun either.

When we first adopted Pippin, our youngest, he was terrified of thunder storms. He sleeps in bed with me so I began playing thunderstorm sounds and he learned pretty quickly that thunderstorms are no longer a scary thing.

With fireworks, though… we’ve tried everything (including the thunder jacket) and had to resort to meds. Even fireworks on tv or video games send him into a panic. It breaks my heart to seem him so afraid, but all I can do is provide him with a safe spot and snuggles…and puppy Valium.

Silly pup!

Thanks! I feel that. My eldest pup is deaf and is no longer freaked out by any loud noises, but he picks up on the younger one’s anxiety. Luckily it’s just fireworks and not thunderstorms that frighten the young one so we only have to deal with this bullshit twice a year.

Haha! Love it!

When I play open world games I lose myself in the exploration and have lots of fun. I have a horrible sense of direction, like so bad that I’ve been playing WoW for 14 years and I still get lost in that game.

But with games like BoTW, ToTK and Diablo 4, I just pick a direction and go and I pick up quests, side quests or kill things for loot along the way. I find myself becoming very frustrated following the main scenarios because they require you to go to specific places on the map and I suck at reading maps so I just put that off for last and have fun exploring.

Mentally preparing myself for being locked in a closet with my drugged up dogs who will be a nervous wreck all night and it’s the only place in the house they feel safe in, but I also need to be in there for them to feel safe, and the sounds of the fireworks will be slightly muffled from there.

My dogs and I aren’t fans of the 4th of July.
